Vallée du Lot
The Lot's character is formed by its 'causses' (limestone plateaux) through which the Lot, Dordogne and Célé valleys have carved their way. It is studded with major tourist attractions and beautiful villages such as Rocamadour, Cahors, Figeac and Saint Cirq Lapopie….
Man and Nature have both left their imprint on the Pech Merle cave and Padirac Chasm. When you're rambling or cycling, the unspoiled, authentic nature of the Lot is plain to see. Home to excellent local produce and fine food and wines, the Lot has many treats to offer your taste buds, including truffles, foie gras, lamb and melons from Quercy, and Cahors Malbec Wine.

The most beautiful villages of the Lot:  Puy l’Evêque... in the heart of the Cahors vineyards, This mediaeval town in the Lot Valley is built on a rocky promontory overlooking the river. By bike along the river Lot: some of the most beautiful towns in the country. Cahors, Puy l'Evêque, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie are just a few of the sights you will encounter there. During the bike ride through the valley of the Lot you will pass many nice villages, castles and other special cultural heritage, such as the fortified town of Castelfranc, the harbor village of Grézels or Castelmoron with its beautiful half-timbered houses.  

Cahors...the inspiring beauty of the Lot. From the Valentré Bridge to the Cathedral of St. Etienne, the Lot's major city combines a Southern atmosphere with a wealth of history. Enfolded within a meander of the river Lot, Cahors, City of Art and History, is just waiting to be explored.

Saint-Cirq-Lapopie...a heart-stopping village. Perched high above the Lot river, the medieval village does a spectacular cliff-hanging act.  The village has not only conserved its heritage, but also retained an irresistible charm. Shops, restaurants and cafés shelter from the sun in the shade of Gothic arches, and the place forms a harmonious whole.
